Hi all new here. I am about to head to jail, then to prison. I am looking around for information about getting my eyes checked while in. Is this possible? Do they help get you glasses? I have the frames but would need new eyeglass script and lenses.

OMG, I can't see without my glasses and readers aren't going to cut it. That has to be something they think about. Plus what will it do any good for those on meds when you can't bring them into the prison. This gets better and better.

Get as much done medically that you can before you go in, if it is possible. Especially dental and eyes. You really don't want to rely on the prison system if you have too. The wait is long and the service is not all that great.

Yes you can bring in your own set of glasses, Personally I would get a new set in an inexpensive and "solid" frame. Something that would not break easily. Something that you hope will last you. Yes you can get glasses issued to you while you are in, but the wait time is long...and well the choices in styles are..shall we say "limited"

Same thing with dental. Get any major work that you can do before you go in. Wait times are long and the service is not that great.
